I must have said this a thousand times, it certainly was and I for one was okay with that because I understood.
Theres a big time gap and you're trying to bridge the old films with the new. TFA was like a gateway drug.
The issue then is that I accepted that as a fan because I expected them to then use that as a springboard to go somewhere interesting with their new story and narrative....which is not what happened.
I didnt hate TLJ, but I was disappointed.
I would probably describe that entire film as 'treading water.' Not a lot happened and there was little to no real progression of the story.
And it was really long, convoluted and full of characters that really didnt do anything or matter.
